Yet, she replied, We have just started dating. Ill learn about these things gradually. Inwardly, Lindsey sought solace and reassurance.

He sported a black shirt today, the thin fabric of his coat accentuating the alignment of his broad chest and shoulders. Two buttons beneath his neck were undone, and his sleeves were casually rolled up, exposing his arms. This added to his mature, cold demeanor.
